King Herod (one of many Herods in the Bible) has the apostle James killed and tries to kill Peter also. But Peter escaped from prison due to an angel's help - and prayers of the church. At the end of the story, Herod does get what's coming to him.  The last in a series in chapters 8-12 of Acts.

Continuing a multi-year series in the book of Acts. This year we are looking at the chapters in Acts that take place in Judea and Samaria. We begin with the story of Simon the Sorcerer, who is allegedly a convert to Christianity.
